We currently have the most wins in CCS at 21-6 and this is our third straight 20 plus winning season not to mention defending TCAL champions yet you mention Salinas and Gilroy as leading contenders to win league. Coach Luna is entering us in the toughest tournaments so we can prove we are a force to be considered, we played Valley Christian tough and lost on some errors we beat Bellermine,Wilcox(3 times)Santa Cruz twice,lost to Los Altos in a game we gave away in extra innings, lost to Serra in a close game, beat Gilroy and Palma easily and lost to Salinas in a game we should have won, are currently tied for first in league and still get squat in rankings and respect from writers like Dave and Dennis that are to lazy to get thier butts down south to Hollister to see the job we have done at SBH. So I am tired of reading about the wealthly powerhouses that get all the attention and just focus on winning with what we have which is a great bunch of kids who believe in Coach Luna`s program.

Every year the pre and mid-season predictions seem to put the target on everyone elses back but the Padres…and every year, the Padres put together solid seasons with outright or a share of league titles in 2001, 2003, 2004 and 2006. This year is no different. Despite the Padres convincing wins over both Valley Christian (4-1) and Bellarmine (13-3), they remain the underdog. There have been very few articles, blogs or posts that even mention the Padres chances of a title. But I will go out on a limb per se.(to Padre fans, this is not much of a prediction as it is a certainty). The Padres will win an outright WCAL regular season title and will complete its sweep of VC by also winning the WCAL post-season tourney. Sorry VC, the scores of those games won’t even be close. Serra’s hot hitting bats will feast on VC’s #1 and #2. The Padres will also go deep in CCS, only to get a lousy draw and face a hot Aptos team (if they are indeed D-1. I hope for the good of the game they are) in the semi’s…It will be a close and exciting game, and by far the best team the Padres will have faced this year, but the better defense will be the deciding factor and Aptos will prevail. Aptos will easily win CCS. But that’s OK…Serra has 7-8 underclassmen in the starting line-up, depending on who’s pitching…and despite the plethora of seasoned starters on next years squad, the Padres will probably have to gain the respect of the area again next year, just like they do every year.
